Disclaimer: don't own nadda. But if you want to sue me go ahead,
all you'd get is about 15 cent and two demon nekos.

Author's note: This is a crossover with two other animes but it
can be read as though the characters are original until it's
revealed what animes they are. I'll go ahead and tell you that
one is Sailor Moon.

************************************************************ *****

The wind blew around an eerie castle. There were guards everywhere
dressed darkly, holding weapons that could kill a rider, horse and
all in one sweep. But it was the old tower that caught his attention.
Inside sat a young women dressed in dirty, yet elegant robes fit for
a queen. Her hair was black, and loosely fell to the floor. Her
bangs covered her eyes but it was easy enough to see the tears that
hit the floor. Think chains bound her where she lay; no man or
beast could break them. He could barely see her mouth the words,
"Why? Why haven't they come for me?"

************************************************************* ****


Kuwabara awoke and calmly sat up in his bed. Botan had informed
them they could not leave until it was discovered where the
emperors was being held, so the boys should get some rest. She
had offered them use of a few rooms in the castle.

He slipped out of bed quietly so not to wake Yusuke, his
roommate, and walked over to the window. 'Was that her? She
was beautiful, not as beautiful as my dear Yukina but pretty
close.' His eyes narrowed as his thought back on his dream,
"who was she talking about? It sure wasn't us, was it?"

"Kuwabara! What are you mumbling about thing time? Go back
to sleep!" His jumped as Yusuke's harsh word dragged him out
of his thoughts. Kuwabara sighed and took one last look out
the window before heading back to his own bed, "We'll save her."
Yusuke looked confused for a moment before rolling his eyes and
going back to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~

The sun's glow lit the room where the two boys slept, both
snored heavily, unaware of the petite girl outside their window.
She shifted her weight, staring intently at the sleeping boys. It
was easy to assume she was about to attack them when out of the
blue she sighed and leaned back against the tree trunk, "Why did
I have to get suck watching them? It's not like they're going
anywhere anytime soon." Another sigh escaped her lips as she
rested her eyes.

Suddenly she felt a prick under her chin and her blood red eyes
shot open. Above her stood a matching pair of Red eyes, Hiei,
he had caught her off her guard. Weighing her odds she decided
it would not be wise to go for her own sword. Slowly she raised
her hands over her head and smiled. Hiei glared and lowered his
sword slightly, "Who are you? What are you doing out here?"
The girl sighed again and started to mumble some words Hiei
couldn't make out but he did hear a few, "Busted!! ...Why
......... be me? .... get her ......!" Other than that she
said nothing else to him.

Hiei rolled his eyes in defeat and grabbed her arm, receiving
a look of shock, "W-What are y-you doing?" He smirked, "We're
going to introduce you to the rest of the team." After a look
of terror all the girl could do was gulp.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

Botan walked into the room(s?) she had lent the Tantei only to
sweatdrop at the site that met her eyes. Both "Humans" were
eating everything in site without stopping to chew, or breath.
Kurama sat in the corner also watching the disaster-waiting-to-happen.
Botan took another look around before declaring in and exasperated
sigh, "Now where's Hiei? We just happen to be under a strict time
limit, we can't let anything happen to K ...... t-the emperies"

"I'm right behind you, ditz." She turned to yell at him when she
noticed the visitor, "Oh my!"

Hiei finally released her, and she stood up looking very flustered.
"It's about time." She sighed and faced the rest of the group;
then they all got their first good look at the young woman and gasped.

Her waist-length hair was jet black and loosely tied into a ponytail.
She was just a little taller than Hiei, a few inches at most and her
ruby red eyes held a glare that matched anything Hiei had ever sent
them. Black sweatpants and a tight forest green tank top covered
her slender body, finishing in small black flip-flops. But it was
her face that had shocked them, for Hiei, it was like looking into
a mirror.

She sighed and rolled her eyes, "Are you done? I though you were
going to go save the emperors?? 'Cause if you want to save her
before she's dead you better leave now." Kurama stepped forward
and towered over their small guest, "Perhaps, but we also need to
know why you were spying on us. Who you are, and who sent you."
She nibbled on the edge of her lip for a moment before replying,
"I wasn't spying. My name is Li but even if I could tell you who
sent me, you wouldn't know her. Only King Enma remembers her name
in the Reikai. But I can assure you I was sent to help you, not
harm you." Hiei's jagan glowed and he signaled that she was telling
the truth. Botan shock her head and let out another sigh, "Then I
suppose she'll just have to come with us."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~

As the six fought the rough terrain of the outer Reikai
Hiei conversed with Yusuke and Kurama about the mysterious Li.
"When I search her I could only tell that she was telling the truth.
She has incredible mental control, even greater than that of the jagan.
I could only see what she let me." The others nodded but Yusuke had to
put in his two cents, "Yeah, and are you sure you two aren't related or
something? She looks just like you." "Hn. I'm sure. But she does have
the mark of a Koorime, she may just have wandered off the island." Hiei
suddenly felt eyes on his and looked up to swap glazes with her. Yusuke
leaned over, "You don't think she can hear us do you?" Kurama shook he
head, "She would have to have a kitsune's hearing to make out our words."
Unbeknownst to them, Li heard every word.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~

The warm light of a campfire danced in the shadows and gave
Li's eyes an eerie glow. The others had been asleep for hours; even
Hiei had let himself drift into a dreamless slumber. 'Well my job was
to keep an eye on them, but I wasn't suppose to be seen. I hope I don't
get into any trouble for this.' But her thoughts were broken by a soft
beeping, only audible to her keen ears. Quietly she snuck out of camp
and pulled a small mirror-like think from an unseen pocket in her pants.
It was a communication mirror. She flipped it open and the face of her
red headed companion appeared on the screen. The red head smirked,
obviously mocking her petite friend, "I see you got caught. Good luck
trying to cover up this screw up." Li glared at the little image,
"Shut up Sakura. You try watching them without Hiei catching you.
But it seems we now have a change in plans. I'll keep them out of
trouble from the inside, you inform Pluto. Everything seems to be
messing up, so we're going to need some help. Big help."
